Correct, a GRASSHOPPER is mentioned in Quiet Sam. Goober also once claimed to have caught three fish on the same grasshopper. Doesn't it seem like Andy and Barney would have been awfully young to have been dissecting things in 1938? At their class reunion a banner gave their year or graduation as 1948. They would have been in second grade! (Note: in another episode they were said to be in the class of 1944).
According to Mayor Pike, the old oak tree is full of TWIG GIRDLERS, not termites. It seems like this topic has run its course, so I'll give the others I was thinking of: Andy says that a woman running for council will stir up a right good sized HORNET'S nest Aunt Bee tells Captain Barker that if Andy misses a meal, he's meaner than a bear that backed into a BEE hive When Aunt Bee first arrives in town, Andy promises that she and Opie will be closer than two FLEAS in a dog's ear Opie, misunderstanding the word "tortilla," thinks South Americans eat TARANTULAS In several episodes a VW BUG (Volkswagen Beetle) can be seen on the streets of Mayberry. Since the Ford Motor Company provided nearly all of the cars seen on TAGS, this VW most likely belonged to a crew member. The cast and crew were sometimes asked to park on the 40 Acres back lot for scenes that required several cars in the background.
